Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles.

This Valentine's Day, I attempted to use my new Wilton candy molds to make fancypants heart-shaped truffles and chocolate-covered Oreos. I bought candy melts in all the proper colors (red, pink, white, and dark chocolate), whipped up three different truffle fillings (peanut butter pretzel, chocolate mocha, and chocolate almond), and got to work.

I'm hoping practice makes perfect because the results were not pretty. The candy melts would melt and the squeeze bottles wouldn't squeeze and an hour later, I'd only manage to make 6 Oreos and explode red chocolate all over the kitchen.

Needless to say... I gave up soon after that. Which worked in my favor, because then these happened.
